WHAT IS TRX❓
You know those black and yellow straps you've seen hanging around studios and gyms? That's TRX! Created by a Navy SEAL, this full-body strength workout uses a person's own body weight instead of relying on machines ...or dumbbells.

HOW DOES IT WORK❓
It's like a simple version of reformer Pilates or antigravity yoga. A TRX suspension trainer leverages gravity and your own weight to perform hundreds of different bodyweight exercises.

INTIMIDATED❓
Because there are progressions and modifications for every exercise it means YOU get to control the exercise intensity! You can easily change the resistance and stability. Since you’re using your body as resistance, small changes have a significant impact.

🔥“Practicing any form of exercise in 105° F can feel challenging. Trying to balance on one leg while sweat drips into your eyes feels Herculean. 💪 If you are the sort of person who loves to push your limits, hot yoga will probably appeal to... you.” explains fitness instructor, Stephanie Saunders.

Here are our top tips for hot yoga newbies:

1. Take it slow. 🐢 Listen to your body because everyone's body responds differently to heat.

2. Stay hydrated!🚰 Start hydrating at least two hours before class, and continue to sip throughout the class.

3. Wear sweat-wicking fabrics. 👚 Cotton absorbs moisture, so your clothes will feel heavy and wet after an hour of sweating.

Anyone who's tried hot yoga knows that exhilarating yet calming energy will have you craving your next class! Comment "🔥" if you can't wait for Get Bent hot yoga!

WHAT IS BARRE❓
Barre class is a workout technique inspired by elements of ballet, yoga, and Pilates focusing on low-impact, high-intensity movements designed to strengthen your body in ways that few other workouts can.

HOW DOES IT ...WORK❓
Each barre class is designed to be a full-body, muscle endurance workout broken into different sections that focus on major muscle groups including the arms, legs, glutes, and core. The muscles in each group are fatigued by small targeted movements, high numbers of repetitions, and light weight or resistance.

INTIMIDATED❓
Unlike many exercise programs, which require a high level of physical fitness or prior expertise, barre is very beginner-friendly and adaptable to different skill sets and ability level.
